Please ask your questions and post comments about installation of Ubuntu on the XO here so that all may benefit :D


- How much of these instructions are Ubuntu-Specific? Could another distribution, such as DSL or Puppy, be made to work the same way?

  • I think any recent linux could work. For Ubuntu I used the kernel from the original Red Hat and the modified xorg packages based from Debian as it was being developed to use the hardware display accelleration. Ubuntu had to be modified to use sysvinit instead of upstart because of how the kernel was configured. - Freelikegnu
